—

Derived from averages for individual banks for entire week. Figure for each bank
indicates extent to which its weekly average purchases and sales are offsetting;
that is, it is the lesser of the two amounts. Gross purchases less 2-way transactions equals net purchases of net buying banks. Similarly, gross sales less
2-way transactions equals net sales of net selling banks.
